PLANNING COMM APPROVAL
ARTICLE XIX
SU-1 Special Use Districts
[Added 1-10-1983 by Ord. No. 1983-1]


§ 172-89. Approval of conditional use. (CON'T)

A. Planning Commission review.
(1) In reviewing an application for approval of any preliminary of final plans for a proposed conditional use permitted by § 172-88, the Planning Commission shall consider the following factors:
(a) Whether the proposed conditional use will have a detrimental effect on the health, safety, comfort, convenience, morals or general welfare of the public and, in particular, the residents in the immediate vicinity of the proposed conditional use.
(b) Whether the proposed conditional use and all structures, equipment or materials used therefor or therein are readily accessible to police and fire protection.
(c) Whether the proposed conditional use will be of such dimension, location and character as to be consistent with the scheme of development prescribed by the Township Comprehensive Plan.
(d) Whether the proposed conditional use will include traffic accessways which are adequate to provide safe ingress and egress to and from public streets and highways without undue congestion to or interference with normal traffic flow within the township.
(e) Whether the proposed conditional use makes adequate provision for safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular traffic circulation within the boundaries of the site of the proposed conditional use.
(f) Whether the site of the proposed conditional use will be adequately drained without adversely affecting adjoining properties, and whether all slopes and grade on the site will be adequately protected against erosion.
(g) Whether the proposed conditional use will unduly interfere with or adversely affect natural resources, such as streams, lakes, swamps, springs, wetlands, woodlands, slopes and grades, wildlife habitats and trees over eight (8) inches in diameter measured three (3) feet above the base of the trunk, which are located on the site of the proposed conditional use.
(h) Whether merchandise, goods, products, articles or equipment will be stored or displayed outside of a building or on a lot for which a conditional use is proposed, and whether such items will be stored or displayed inside a building for which a conditional use is proposed in a manner which renders such items visible from beyond the property line of such use.
(i) Whether the proposed conditional use will diminish the value of properties adjacent to or in the vicinity of the proposed conditional use.
(j) Whether the proposed conditional use is physically suited to the site of such proposed use in view of the topographical, soil, hydrogeological and environmental characteristics of such site.
(k) Whether the proposed conditional use will cause an unreasonable and substantial interference with the use and enjoyment of properties to or in the vicinity of the proposed use.
(l) Whether the proposed conditional use is compatible with the existing use of the immediate vicinity.
(m) Whether the proposed conditional use will result in an unreasonable density of population or overcrowding of the land.
(n) Whether the proposed conditional use will deprive adjacent properties of adequate light and air.
(o) Whether the proposed conditional use will substantially burden existing sewerage facilities, schools, parks, utilities and other public services.
(p) Whether the proposed conditional use complies with all sections of this Article particularly as related to land development and subdivision standards.
(2) On the basis of this review, the Planning Commission shall make a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors as to whether the application and plans should be approved, approved subject to conditions or rejected. The Board of Supervisors shall consider but shall not be bound by the recommendations of the Commission.
